liking the sport.And, Massimo, you still didn't answer my question about
nothingness. If the universe ends, what is there on the other side ? Nothing ?
And isn't nothing space that could be occupied by something ? So nothing is
something and the universe. It can't end. I mean, if a room ends there is
something on the other side of the wall.|

1973 Ali had his jaw broken in March verses Norton and the second Norton fight
was in September, so Ali was out about half of the year for a broken jaw
too.Shavers was out for half the year the same year with the broken jaw
suffered in sparring as he fought Ellis in June and Quarry in December. So yes
there was less time when a Shavers/Frazier fight could have happened.In
both cases a minimum of four months was needed to heal before training could
begin, a time when each could have had one more fight. In Shavers' case
he was a marketable fighter for another big name fight after his win over Ellis
and his management chose Quarry, a big test, which he failed by being knocked
out in one round.Again Noam, you ignore the fact that he followed this
up with a loss to Stallings so he was hardly lighting the world on fire at that
point. Both fighters could have only taken one fight during the six
month period as the Lubbers fight happened more than six months after the broken
jaw of Ali.I am only using Shavers as an example as to why Frazier
didn't avoid him and I can use similar logic for others that you named
also.Also, you can't put people like Terrell in the same catagory as
punchers like Lyle, Shavers and Mac Foster. Frazier faced harder punchers in
Quarry, Bonevena, and Chuvalo than Terrell.Terrell was a boxer who boxed
from a distance and he relied on a good left jab. Did Frazier avoid boxers who
relied on a jab? I don't think so as he fought both Ali and Ellis.Yes
Frazier had only so many fights in him because of his style but did he avoid
certain fighters because of their style? No, there is no proof this is so just
because of one fight, Foreman number one. If he did avoid punchers than he
would have never fought Foreman a second time.|

I didn't answer your question soon because it's a very profound and
complicated question and would require a lot of time and space in this site and
a better Physicist than I am! And a better English speaker, as well! You know,
speaking in English of boxing (bum, ducked, chump, hell...)is one thing,
speaking of Science is another!As far as I know, people who think the
Universe is NOT ENDLESS (finite) mean that if you "traveled, traveled, traveled,
and keep on travelling for a VERY long time, there would be a moment in which
you 'd realize that you are back in the place where your trip started. These
guys think the Universe is some kind of a sphere. Anyway, if you think about it,
if the Universe really started from a single point 15-20 billions years ago and
nothing can go faster than light, how can it be endless ? Its diameter should be
at most 15-20 billions light-years in lenght. Another profound unsolved
question is: is the Universe gonna expaind forever or is it going to collapse in
a single point ? It all depends on how much matter there is in the Universe.
This is the DARK MATTER problem and I had a female Prof. in college who spent
many years working on this subject (and at a very high level too). |

it is some sort of sphere, what contains the sphere? What is outside of the
sphere? Around 1975, Kirk and Spock should have been sent on a mission to
figure this out. While looking for the answer, they could have also looked for
Jimmy Ellis' lost power, which was lost somewhere between Louisville and
Melbourne. I watched that fight on Saturday, Joe's famous "Victory in Vegamite
Country" over punchless Jimmy. Kent, Jimmy did NOT win the first five rounds.
He probably won one and two, held even after that, but by the fifth, Frazier
started to land. Ellis had been landing all along, and Frazier brushed off the
punches like he was being bothered by flies. It was perfect "opponent
